After the course, the PhD student should be able to:

1) Describe and discuss the current regulations, local policies and norms regarding responsible conduct of research in relation to concrete research projects. Including:
– Responsible collection and management of data
– Responsible use of AI in research
– Responsible attribution of authorships
– Responsible communication of research results to the general public

2) Describe how possible transgressions of these norms are handled via the Named Persons, the University’s Practice Committee and the national Committee for Scientific Dishonesty

3) Explain and apply norms of Responsible Conduct of Research for the following specific subjects:
– Documentation of scientific results

The RCR teaching lasts one day and consists of four modules. Each module combines a lecture with student interaction.

Each course has about 45 participating PhD students.

Content of the course
Module 1: Overview of the field
Provides an introduction to good scientific practice, questionable research practices (QRPs), and research misconduct, and a presentation of the institutions dealing with QRPs and research misconduct. We also discuss how best to avoid research misconduct (especially plagiarism).

Module 2: Authorship and the Vancouver recommendations
Presentation of the norms regarding publication, various kinds of deviations from these norms, and handling of the many grey zone issues to which the application of these norms give rise.

Module 3: Research data management

Module 4: Conflicts of interest and commitment, communication with the public

Curriculum
The course curriculum consists of the e-book, RCR – A Danish textbook for courses in Responsible Conduct of Research, by Karsten Klint Jensen, Martin Marchmann Andersen, Louise Whiteley and Peter Sandøe (eds.).
